"Location is great. Facilities are great. Front desk great. Felt that hot water did not last sufficiently long for a family of 4. Had golf cart parked on our parking space and when we tried driving around it to get to our unit we scratched car on the hedges which is unfortunate as it is a rental car. Some issues with bugs getting into the house which we had to remove as one of the members in our family was bug phobic. "

"My family had a wonderful time when we stayed at this house. The house was beautiful, my children loved the porches with hammocks. The view of the volcano was excellent, and it was within a 20 minute drive from anything we wanted to see within the area.Our host recommended a tour organizer/guide who lived two houses down (Papa's place). He too was excellent, reasonable prices, excellent tour. His wife also cooks if notified in advance for small (or large) groups. "

"Where to begin? Let’s start from the booking! Even before I booked Melanie answered my questions and continued to be very responsive.Check in was efficient with staff onsite ready to show us everything and answer questions. Pictures don’t give the living area justice (basically 2 large studios). And we didn’t realize there was a 3rd floor with seating area!Living areas cleaned and all functional!Views - OMG!!!

"Great place, Louis, the grounds keeper, told us on day one there were 3 sloths on the property. He took us around and we got great footage. We could watch one each day from the pool/patio area. The house was great. Only down side was its little trek to LaFortuna, but I would highly recommend. "

"We had such an amazing time at this VRBO. It is such a beautiful home with amazing view and lush flora right out your window. The host was so amazing to work with. His communication was fast and great. The can opener needed replaced and he dropped one of the next day. He was very attentive to any need. I highly recommend this location. We loved the outdoor living area and beautiful pool. "

"We had an incredible stay at this cozy and well-equipped cabin! The surroundings are absolutely stunning, and Raul was an amazing host. He went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable—he was very flexible with our changing arrival time and even waited for us late at night as we encountered some challenges with the rental car. He also helped set up a fantastic night hike with his son and showed us the unique plants around the property. His attention to detail and kindness truly...

"I was pleasantly surprised by how this gem is tucked away behind the hotel. You are close-by to help if you need, but you are still far enough to get your full privacy. It’s quite a romantic hideaway. I’d say it suitable for a couple or a small family (due to the sleeping arrangements). The shower pressure is remarkable but the size of the shower is outstanding-biggest shower I’ve ever seen. The tree branches will sway back and forth against the windows, which creates this peace and tranquility...

"I hate to make a review like this but we had to leave early and find a new place. The “dog kennel” next door had barking day and night was unbearable. The exposed electrical wiring in the shower caused concern. The owner was very responsive but could not correct condition. The property was rated a 10 with 7 reviews when I booked. Not sure hire that could be possible."

"I took my family of 13 including 4 grandchildren to Costa Rica for 10 days. We stayed at the Pie in The Sky Villas for the first 5 nights and were not disappointed. The house and grounds were amazing and the views even better. We were fortunate to meet the owner, Ronald Peterson, after a few minutes he became one of my family. You could not ask for a better host. The location is perfect for any activities you want around the Arenal Volcano. 5 bedrooms & 5 baths, more than enough room for...

"Our family enjoyed our stay and found it peaceful. The host was really helpful and his instructions to find the place were perfect. It is about 20 minutes drive from Santa Elena and most attractions in the area. It was great being on a coffee farm as we had learnt about coffee production in Arenal before going to Monteverde. One of our group likes a dishwasher (there isn’t one) but the rest of us don’t mind handwashing. Most places we stayed in Costa Rica had no dishwasher. There were 2...
